Story, Synopsis, Trivia, Dialogues for Raksha (2008)
Raksha is a 2008 Indian Telugu thriller film released on Sep 19, 2008. The film is directed by Akella Vamsi Krishna, produced by Ram Gopal Varma under banner named Zed 3 Pictures, music composed by Bappi Tutul.
Ram Gopal Varma, who had left Telugu film industry long ago and settled in Mumbai to rule Bollywood, makes his presence felt in Telugu film industry every now and then. Very recently he had brought out a horror film in Hindi, Phoonk. The same was remade in Telugu under his supervision by a debutant director Vamsikrishna Akella. Such a senior director complimented the debutant that Vamsikrishna brought out the film more effectively than his movie. This has raised the expectations about the movie. However, in reality, the film is not so great for viewers. But when we watch the film keeping in view that it was from a debutant, it is definitely a nice movie. Rajeev (Jagapatibabu) is a realtor and Arthi (Kalyani) is his wife. His mother (Radhakumari) also stays with them and Rajeev has two children Raksha (Neha) and Rahul (Atul). Theirs is a sweet home. Rajeev believes in hard work and is an atheist. He doesn't believe in God or demon. But Arthi and Rajeev's mother strongly believe in both of them. Rajeev gives job to his childhood friend Venu (Rajiv Kanakala) and his wife Madhu (Satyakrishnan) in his company. However, Venu and his wife cheat Rajeev. So, on the advise of his partner Vinay (Subbaraju) Rajeev necks him out of his home and dismisses him from job. Irked over this, Venu decides to take revenge against Rajeev. As Rajeev loves his children very much, Venu takes the help of a sorcerer (Veerendra Chauhan) and applies black magic (Chetabadi) on Raksha. As a result, Raksha starts behaving differently. At the same time, several other instances frighten them. They are like a bone with some lemons, a cat coming in their way and other such things. Arthi and her mother-in-law strongly believe that someone is applying black magic but Rajeev refutes all their beliefs as trash and superstitions. However, Dr Pandey (Melkote) and Dr Rangarajan (Jeeva) who treat Raksha cannot identify the disease. Unable to watch the suffering of Raksha, Vinay asks Rajeev to believe in black magic and superstition once to get her treated by a sorcerer. Because of the sheer love towards Raksha, Rajeev agrees to believe in it and both Rajeev and Vinay meet Sanatan Baba (Pradeep Rawat), who confirms that it is nothing but black magic. Rajeev is surprised when Sanatan Baba reveals Rajeev's past experiences. He warns Rajeev that he should stop the sorcerer who is applying the black magic from dropping a doll in the fire to prevent Raksha's death. He also reveals that those who are behind the black magic is none other than Venu and Madhu and Rajeev's driver Mani (Chandrasekhar) helps them. So Rajeev and Vinay go in search of the place with the help of Mani and thrashes the sorcerer and prevents him from burning the doll. At the same time, Rajeev forces Venu and Madhu to jump from a building instead of killing them on his own. The film ends on a happy note with Raksha's recovery. The twist in the climax is that Arthi who believes in superstition appreciates Dr Seema (Jayasudha) for the recovery of Raksha, while Vinay thanks Sanatan Baba for the same. Rajeevs continue to hinge between atheism and belief.

Rajeev believes in hard work and is an atheist. He doesn't believe in God or demon. But Arthi and Rajeev's mother strongly believe in both of them. Rajeev gives job to his childhood friend Venu (Rajiv Kanakala) and his wife Madhu (Satyakrishnan) in his company. However, Venu and his wife cheat Rajeev. So, on the advise of his partner Vinay (Subbaraju) Rajeev necks him out of his home and dismisses him from job. Irked over this, Venu decides to take revenge against Rajeev. As Rajeev loves his children very much, Venu takes the help of a sorcerer (Veerendra Chauhan) and applies black magic (Chetabadi) on Raksha. As a result, Raksha starts behaving differently. At the same time, several other instances frighten them. They are like a bone with some lemons, a cat coming in their way and other such things. Arthi and her mother-in-law strongly believe that someone is applying black magic but Rajeev refutes all their beliefs as trash and superstitions. However, Dr Pandey (Melkote) and Dr Rangarajan (Jeeva) who treat Raksha cannot identify the disease. Unable to watch the suffering of Raksha, Vinay asks Rajeev to believe in black magic and superstition once to get her treated by a sorcerer. Because of the sheer love towards Raksha, Rajeev agrees to believe in it and both Rajeev and Vinay meet Sanatan Baba (Pradeep Rawat), who confirms that it is nothing but black magic. Rajeev is surprised when Sanatan Baba reveals Rajeev's past experiences. He warns Rajeev that he should stop the sorcerer who is applying the black magic from dropping a doll in the fire to prevent Raksha's death. He also reveals that those who are behind the black magic is none other than Venu and Madhu and Rajeev's driver Mani (Chandrasekhar) helps them. So Rajeev and Vinay go in search of the place with the help of Mani and thrashes the sorcerer and prevents him from burning the doll. At the same time, Rajeev forces Venu and Madhu to jump from a building instead of killing them on his own. The film ends on a happy note with Raksha's recovery. The twist in the climax is that Arthi who believes in superstition appreciates Dr Seema (Jayasudha) for the recovery of Raksha, while Vinay thanks Sanatan Baba for the same. Rajeevs continue to hinge between atheism and belief.
Ram Gopal Varma, who had left Telugu film industry long ago and settled in Mumbai to rule Bollywood, makes his presence felt in Telugu film industry every now and then. Very recently he had brought out a horror film in Hindi, Phoonk. The same was remade in Telugu under his supervision by a debutant director Vamsikrishna Akella. Such a senior director complimented the debutant that Vamsikrishna brought out the film more effectively than his movie. This has raised the expectations about the movie. However, in reality, the film is not so great for viewers. But when we watch the film keeping in view that it was from a debutant, it is definitely a nice movie.
